Boston Legacy FC Sign Brazilian International Andressa “Kaká” Ferreira On Two-Year Deal

Boston Legacy Football Club have announced the signing of Brazilian international midfielder Andressa Ferreira, popularly known as Kaká, on a two-year contract with an option to renew.

More Details

The 26-year-old will join the NWSL club as a free agent in January when the rest of the squad reports for preseason, adding further quality and international experience to Boston Legacy’s roster.

Born in Brasília, Kaká arrives from Brazilian top-flight side São Paulo, where she enjoyed a successful spell and won the Supercopa do Brasil in 2025. Her professional journey began at just 16 years old with second-division club Minas Brasília, where she played a key role in securing promotion in 2018. She later moved to Santos, spending two seasons in the Brazilian first division before joining São Paulo ahead of the 2024 campaign.

On the international stage, Kaká was part of the Brazil squad that lifted the 2025 Copa América Feminina, contributing to an unbeaten run that culminated in the championship title.

Speaking on her move, Kaká expressed excitement about the new challenge ahead.

“I’m very happy and motivated by this new challenge,” she said. “Joining Boston Legacy FC represents an important step in my career, within an ambitious club that truly believes in the development of its players. I’m excited to wear Boston’s shirt, contribute on the field, and continue to grow alongside the club in this new chapter.”

Boston Legacy general manager Domè Guasch also welcomed the midfielder, highlighting her technical ability and mentality.

“We’re very pleased to welcome Kaká to Boston from São Paulo FC in Brazil,” Guasch said.

“She’s extremely comfortable on the ball and plays with a calmness and confidence that aligns well with the way we want to play. Kaká also brings valuable experience at international level with Brazil. She has a strong foundation and, at 26, has some of her best football ahead of her. We believe she has the personality, drive, and mindset to adapt quickly to life in the US and to the demands of the NWSL.”

Kaká’s arrival signals Boston Legacy FC’s intent to strengthen their squad with proven international talent as they continue to build ahead of the new NWSL season.
